Hi,
Your Qibla Locator works as a charm! Well done and very useful.
May I suggest not to use grey, blue or purple texts against a black background - this does not show well on many screens. Why not use a simple white background?
The qibla direction, geographical data and distance are shown with far too many decimals - their spurious accuracy may confuse users. Four or five decimals should be sufficient and the output bar will look nicer.
Many non Anglo-Saxon users would prefer to see the distance given in kilometers, not in miles. Why not add an option so that the user can choose the units. Other users may also prefer to have the angular data given in arcminutes and arcseconds instead of decimal degress.
Thanks for the great feedback Robert. This is exactly what i’m looking for; feedback from users so I can imporve the application. I’ll definitely look into your suggestions and try and work them in.
I am putting together a website for my mosque and I would like to integrate qibla locator into the website (without requiring to jump out of the site). I’d very much appreciate your feedback on this.
Wa’alaikum Assalam,
Jazzakallah Khair. You could use iframes to load this page in your site. That would actually load qibla locator but seem as if it was on your masjids site.
At the moment I am focusing in fixing some of the bugs with the qibla locator and don’t plan in making a seperate module that essentially does the same thing.
I am new in Harvard university Cambridge. The qibla according to this software is in Northeast of Cambridge MA USA, whereas if you look at globe, Saudi Arabia is in the Southeast of Cambridge. This is confusing to find out the rifgt direction of Qibla. Please guide !
AssalamuAlaikum Dr Hamdani,
I’m glad you asked that question. Your confusion arises from the fact that you are looking a flat map of the earth. If you were to look at a real spherical globe you would note that the qibla IS indeed in the Northeast. For a detailed explanation I would like to point you to http://moonsighting.com/qibla.html. This site also mentions several alternate ways to find out the qibla direction all of which back the direction given by the qibla locator.
Like all the others, I really appreciate your site. I am using it to help a local mosque here in UK to get set up properly.
One point is unclear. Are your bearings in degrees from True North or from Magnetic North? I’m pretty sure it’s True North. Since most people would use your maps in conjunction with a compass, I think that it’s very important that you avoid confusion (and argument!!!) by making this clear.
Walaikum Assalam Peter,
Thank you for your comment. You are correct. The North represented in the maps is the True North and NOT the magnetic North. I hope this takes care of any confusion.
This tool is fabulous and gives you the unbeleivable convinience to layout new mosques. I’m an architect and working on a Mosque project in America. I wasn’t sure about the accuracy of the angle your formula provides. So I started applying this locator on some famous existing mosques. Some of them (incl Badshahi Mosque of Lahore of Mughal era) follow truly the direction suggested by the LOCATOR where as many other famous Mosques which are built in recent past show quite noticeable variance from the angle suggested by the locator. Among them are Faisal Mosque of Islamabad and the largest moque in Middle east (other than the Haramain) which is recently built in Muscat Oman. Could you please comment on this. I would be obliged.

I’m sorry I couldn’t tend to your question in time. The equations I used for determining the qibla are based upon spherical trigonometry. These were obtained from Dr. Mohibullah N.Durrani’s website at http://www.islamworld.net/qibla.html . The accuracy of these equations can be verified and have been verified (read last paragraph) to be almost the same using the method of locating the qibla using the sun which is the most reliable method to date. I would suggest you not to rely on just any one method but use as many possible ways to determine the qibla.
As far as commenting on the variance of the angle of certain recent masajid I don’t think I have anything to say about it other than use as many methods known in finding the qibla accurately. And Allah knows best.
Lastly, I would like to ask you to make dua for me and all Muslims. Please try and keep me informed on your findings and the approach you take in finding the qibla.
Hi and Happy Ramadan.
This tool is very usefull. Thanks for providing it. Looking at the direction you show for North China or Mongolia, it does not look correct. Can you check? Also check Greenland …
Thanks,
–Mehdi
Thanks a lot for the nice job. As you correclty
have mentioned, the direction is given with respect to
True North. Nevertheless, most people use a compass to
find the direction, and so, they have the Magnetic
North instead. As the difference between True and
Magnetic North could be quite consdierable, do you
have any suggestion for people who simply use a compass?
Assalamu alaikum , Br Mehdi,The directions given at the locations you mention are correct. Perhaps you might want to readup on this site why this is the correct direction.
Br Mohammad, One of the main features of the qiblalocator is that one does not need to use a compass at all. Just by looking at the map and locating your surrounding landmarks you can face the qibla by following the red line.
Salam Alaikum brother Ibn-e-Mas’ud.
JazakAllah Khairun for such an excellent effort.
I recently moved to another place in Houston and wasn’t sure of Qibla direction and Alhamdolillah your website solved the problem. I checked and verified the direction from some cities in U.S. and Pakistan, like Hyderabad, and found it correct.
Only Allah Subhanahu Wa Tuala can reward your this great service to Islam, we offer sincere gratitude. I must say I am really proud of you!
I am living in Japan and had difficulties to find the qiblah in my home. Thanks to Allah (CC) it was easy to find your homepage using to Google.
Your website is very usefull and can be good help for all the people who move different countries which lack from common knowlegde of Islam and Qiblah.
Salam Alaikum brother Ibn-e-Mas’ud.
I recently moved to Netherlands from Bahrain. I was clearly lost out on how to determine the Qiblah direction here. I googled it and found that you have made our lives really easier. This tool is very useful.
May Allah reward you.
I would really like to thank you for this program. I just realized that I have been praying in the opposite directoin for the last 5 months. God bless you!
Assalamualaikum ya brother,
I write to you from Abuja,Nigeria,where we are trying to set-out a new mosque for construction and are determined to get the orientation in perfect alignment to the holy Kaaba.After a lengthy search on the ‘net i zeroed in on your site which subsequently served our purpose perfectly. I can only say to you - jazakallahu khairan.
Masalam.
May Allah give y millions of ajr and sawab for yr brilliant extra useful work.This is a great gift for those muslim brothers who lives in western countries.As Qibla is one of the signs of unity for Muslims,May Allah gives Toufiq to brings all the hearts of Muslims closer any where in the world,and make them Bunyan Marsoos.All the best.Jazakallah Khair.
AoA,
Really great website… ever since I moved to the US, I have been locating the qibla by myself, sorting out directions with my Islamic Center’s direction of qibla. I wasn’t very sure ever, but now that my friend referred your website, I am more confident about the qibla directions and happy that I’d be able to locate it where ever I go. Thank you!
Great tool! I am a Muslim and an Architect who designs masjids as part of my practice. We are reasonably technically savvy and have used Google Earn (along with MS Virtual Earth) for a while now. I have written several emails directly to Google with a comparable idea for them to incorporate INTO Google Earth but they’ve never replied. Your program/website seems to use Google Earth, but does not run in it.
Has Google ever considered incorporating the Qibla locator into the main program? Ideally, the Qibla could be shown graphically as a series of concentric circles growing or eminating outward from the Kabba to any point on earth. This would be an invaluable tool to be able to graphically explain the qibla to Muslims worldwide. Not just locate the Qibla, but EXPLAIN it too. Think about how Google Earth pans from a world view to your location. Perhaps it could do it from the Kabba to your location, following the ever increasing series of concentric circles originating at the Kabba. That’s the idea.
Furthermore, you may consider a link to http://www.Islamicfinder.net. This site can calculate the qibla along with prayer times for any location worldwide. It just lacks a graphical interface and explanation.
Dear Brother
Thank you very much for this service. I am a Muslim Elhamdulillah and living in the US and your website helped me alot. May God give you billions of saevvap for this efficient work.I will prey that May God reward you.

Alhamdoliillah…. 2 good my friend… Inshallah u get everything u need…. I am also a software eng but u have made a good thing…. @least i found qibla in Houston, TX. Thanxl

MashaAllah Your work is great, InshaAllah definitely you will get millions and millions of rewards from our Lord, and I’m at Sydney, Australia. My small blog’s ( http://www.aussitamilmuslim.blogspot.com ) visitor using your Qibla locator wherever they Travel to different places its amazing
Before use your Qibla Locator i tested with different masjid qibla -its unique not much different
Dear brother, i am very happy to see that this kind of website exists. It’s a really good idea you had. Thank you for helping us. It’s difficult to pray when we travel and don’t know the direction of Qibla. It will be more easy now. God reward you and all muslims.
I was thinking to use Google maps for finding directions based on heuristics. But to my intense surprise, you have already provided a nice and accurate way of doing the same. May the Almighty Allah reward you for your efforts. Jazakallah,
Salamo alaikum,
Jazak Allahu Khairan,
There is a very useful application.
I’ve read Laila’s post, and I would almost tear in cry, to feel how would an individual can change lives remotely.
Assalaamu alaikum
Great Job!!!
I just wanted to inform you that I put a link from our association’s website to your locater. hope you don’t mind. http://www.mahvoice.ca
I recently had this website forwarded to me, and I wasn’t sure if I was praying the right direction. With this website I was able to confirm it. Thank you for this website. This will help me tremendously no matter where I go.
Extremely useful site. Helped me to locate exact direction However I find that my Mumbai address cannot be found on the site. Is India not included so far?
Just one feature which im sure will help lots of people is it possible to add a cirle thing so we can turn the map round. This will help in getting our bearings right. eg if a high st is physically to my left but on map its on right id like to turn map so i get my qibla direction better.
Assalamu alaikum. thank you for simplifying a task and making it available to every one. a great job.
Although some persons have reasons for extreme precision in determining the direction of Qiblah but for day to day usage Muslims only need a reasonably accurate general direction. your program has solved both issues.
May Allah SWT reward you with the best in this world and in the Hereafter, for helping many of us (architects and travelers)- Ameen.
To those who wish to incorporates a link to this program on their site my request is that please do not forget to acknowledge Ibn Masood for his efforts and make a prayer for him.
Qiblalocator doesn’t work for north America at all, I live in New Jersey and when I put my zip code the Qiblalocator drew a line for me and when I zoomed it out the line was pointing towards Iceland not Saudi Arabia, the website administers should check this out for themselves.
This is great, muslims can get the direction to pray in where in the world where they have a computer. This is good bida (innovation) and we as Muslims should use it.
Shukran for your efforts towards the betterment of the Ummah! May The Almighty reward you and your family in abundance and grant you success in this world and the next! Aameen.
Assalaamu Alaikum, May Allah reward you for this endeavor, it is definitely worthwhile. I am in MD, Zip 20744 and Qibla-Locator indicates that the direction of the Qibla is northeast, however when I look at a map and a globe I see that the Qibla is actually Southeast of my location. Please explain your calculations and how this is derived as I am having a hard time validating your application when I look at a map.
May Allah continue to bless for your efforts.
During Ramadan when I check your web site and tried to locate the Qibla for state of New jersey USA it was showing me Iceland as the qibla and I posted a comment asking you to check the accuracy of the Qibla locator, but since my comment pointed a mistake on your side you removed it. I don’t think it is Islamic to deceive the people and cover the truth, the qibla locator doesn’t work for northeast America !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dear Brother, I’m an Indian Engineer working in Belgium.
MashaAllah, Your work is simply awesome, Wonderful. This is really helpful. May Allah reward you in this life and the HereAfter. Aameen.
I have my zip code as 6041. But when I just put 6041, I’m directed towards Australia, while mine is 6041, Charleroi, Belgium. So I think Country is mandatory with Zip code.
I hope you would not mind me forwarding your Qibla locator to my contacts. It is a great tool. Jazakallah khair. Wassalaam.
Congratulations. This is very commendable. Its works fine. I have Apple Mac and the browser is Safari. So far I have just tried the locations I already know just to check if it points accurately and it does!
May Allah bless you for this amazing tool which has solved many an argument. Too bad I can’t use it on my iPhone’s Safari browser but it is still very handy. Jazak Allah Khairun.
Somebody forwarded me your qibla locater link. Mashallah I was very happy and pleased with this work.
Just as a suggestion to make this work even more benefitting to the ummah, I think if you could get this “ENDORSED” or “CERTIFIED” by some MUFTIS and ULAMA, it would be even better.
I am not sure where you are, but if you are in the US, I think you should contact Shariah Board in Chicago (Mufti Nawalur Rahman Saab, etc.), or maybe even Mufti Desai Saab of S. Africa (ask-imam.com) or darul-iftaa.com (from UK).
If you could get them to comment on your work, more peopple would use it, and they would even inform others about your work.
May Allah (SWT) reward you and your family for an excellent contribution to the Muslim Ummah. This will be a great Aid to those seeking a proper direction of the Qibla. Is there a possibility of allowing search by Latitude & Longitude, as it would help those who are in remort locations not covered by the maps.
I have a development suggestion for ease of use:
if there are two locations with the same name, the search engine gives only one of them and no way to reach the other through the search command. for instance: there are two locations named (Duma) one in Sudan and one in Syria, the search engine givs only the one in Sudan.
The same thing for (Harasta) one in Syria and one in USA.
I suggest if the search results are listed in the margin so the user specifies which one he is looking for / OR if you make it possible for the search box to accept strings like:( Syria, Duma) or (Syria, Harasta)
Wajazakallahu khairan
Salam
Thank you for this excellent effort. I noticed that the direction in some places is not correct. For example, when I type Seattle, the red line point towards the north east!!.
Masha-allah your quibla calc. is awesome. You guys are truely blessed. Every travelling Muslim using your tool (worldwide) thanks you and your efforts for providing us with an answer to the most challenging question “where is quibla?”. My job entails frequent travelling and your calculator has proved to be invaluable. I’ve often used inaccurate compasses, and often guessed! But this is great.
i have a good suggestion that i think it will be useful. i wish to find the direction of the qibla directly when i enter the qibla locator site without the hastle of trying to find where am i on the map .. i mean if you can take the IP address and at least open the Google map of the city i am in at the moment (from the IP Address ) that will be more than enought as a start point.
Alhamdulillah this is very good! I will implement iframes in my portal to help my countrymen further. With your permission of course
May Allah reward you for this excellent effort!
This a very helpful Site may god reward you inshalla.
If I may say if you could put some extra effort to this site and if the prayer timings may be added to the major cities that can be found on this website by clicking on the city that is shown on the map.
Qibla locater is miracle indeed, it is really a very big help to locate the right angle for qibla, i tried difference traditional qibla locater compass but didn’t get the right result but with your locater it clear the confusion. May ALLAH give you more strength inventing more helpful resources for muslim brother and sisters.
May Allah bless you for this immeasurable service. you will be in everyone’s du’a defacto.
A little trivia point: try zooming out a little and then finding the exact opposite point on the globe to our beloved Mekkah. It lies somewhere between San Diego, Ca and Hawaii near a small island in the Pacific. On that specific point the qibla can be in any direction. Wassalam.
I am very grateful to Allah that there are people like you interested of his satisfaction, I hope that Allah reward you as much more than your intention aimed.
Notice: I didn’t get the red line, although I’ve got my home precisely under the + sign.
Thank you so much for the marvelous efforts.
May Allah (swt) bless you for this great charity. You will be in every one’s Du’a defacto. An interesting observation is that somewhere in the mid South Pacific (latitude 21.5 and longitude 140 approx.)there is a theoretical point where our beloved Ka’ba is equidistant and the Qibla is good in all directions.
May Allah reward you for your efforts. I think that it may be a good idea to have some explanation of why the qiblah is North-East in the USA, and why compasses can’t always be relied upon. Maybe you can put a link to brother Khalid’s moonsighting website.
Thank you so much for this a good service.
I hope to draw the line from any site to Makkah.
If I choose any site far from Saudi the line will be short.
The website is very useful. I travel a lot to European and Western countries on work, this would be a 10 minute excercise to figure out the direction. Do you have an application for Iphone
thansk
I wanted to let you know also how I found out about your service. It was a friend of mine that e-mailed me a link. I’m sure that he also sent it to many others.
Obviously this means that, Masha’Allah, your site has become a service that is being recommended by word of mouth — something that is done only for products and services that hold a true value.
Excellent service!!! This is very useful to people like me who travel across the globe.
Almighty Allah knows the reward for your effort, the people who spread this news and the people who use this in the path of Allah.
Million Thanks and Jazakallah!!!

I think u should put dial on the screen which can also mavebale mean anyone can put it at thier desire location. It will be more helpfull and useable. Otherwise, u have done a gud job may Allah accept ur effort regarding this great cause
Great Program! I believe still many people not aware of it. Even myself, I just found it by accident.. after 2 years ! Bye the way, seems that the Masjid An-Nabawi are a little off !! Any idea ?
MASHA ALLAH!
This is very very useful page & I sincerely thank the people who have put in commendable effort.
MAY ALLAH BLESS THEM WITH MORE & MORE SUCCESS IN ALL THEIR DEEDS.
Jazak Allah o Khairan Alf Alf Marrah
MashaAllah. this is so very useful.
I travel a lot and always have to ask the front desk about the north pole direction. Now, thanks to Allah SWT first and then you guys, I will not have to ask them anymore.

AoA,
Really great website… ever since I moved to the US, I have been locating the qibla by myself, sorting out directions with my Islamic Center’s direction of qibla. I wasn’t very sure ever, but now that my friend referred your website, I am more confident about the qibla directions and happy that I’d be able to locate it where ever I go. Thank you!

Great tool! I am a Muslim and an Architect who designs masjids as part of my practice. We are reasonably technically savvy and have used Google Earn (along with MS Virtual Earth) for a while now. I have written several emails directly to Google with a comparable idea for them to incorporate INTO Google Earth but they’ve never replied. Your program/website seems to use Google Earth, but does not run in it.
Has Google ever considered incorporating the Qibla locator into the main program? Ideally, the Qibla could be shown graphically as a series of concentric circles growing or eminating outward from the Kabba to any point on earth. This would be an invaluable tool to be able to graphically explain the qibla to Muslims worldwide. Not just locate the Qibla, but EXPLAIN it too. Think about how Google Earth pans from a world view to your location. Perhaps it could do it from the Kabba to your location, following the ever increasing series of concentric circles originating at the Kabba. That’s the idea.
Furthermore, you may consider a link to http://www.Islamicfinder.net. This site can calculate the qibla along with prayer times for any location worldwide. It just lacks a graphical interface and explanation.
Again, GOOD JOB!

1- removing the phrase “US only” that is written after Zip Code, I live in the UK and I entered my zip code and the tool worked perfectly
2- adding translations to this section helping non-English speaking users to use the tool

May Allah SWT reward you with the best in this world and in the Hereafter, for helping many of us (architects and travelers)- Ameen.
To those who wish to incorporates a link to this program on their site my request is that please do not forget to acknowledge Ibn Masood for his efforts and make a prayer for him.

Just as a suggestion to make this work even more benefitting to the ummah, I think if you could get this “ENDORSED” or “CERTIFIED” by some MUFTIS and ULAMA, it would be even better.
I am not sure where you are, but if you are in the US, I think you should contact Shariah Board in Chicago (Mufti Nawalur Rahman Saab, etc.), or maybe even Mufti Desai Saab of S. Africa (ask-imam.com) or darul-iftaa.com (from UK).
If you could get them to comment on your work, more peopple would use it, and they would even inform others about your work.

I have a development suggestion for ease of use:
if there are two locations with the same name, the search engine gives only one of them and no way to reach the other through the search command. for instance: there are two locations named (Duma) one in Sudan and one in Syria, the search engine givs only the one in Sudan.
The same thing for (Harasta) one in Syria and one in USA.
I suggest if the search results are listed in the margin so the user specifies which one he is looking for / OR if you make it possible for the search box to accept strings like:( Syria, Duma) or (Syria, Harasta)
